I’m looking at buying one of these units, has anyone got the V4 unit working? What’s the difference between V3 and V4?
Thanks!
Hi
(barging in… sorry)
also wanted to ask about IPX 800 V4 - will it work with the Vera Edge plugin?
Thanks
Uri
no I think it will not work for V4 although it is possible to be adapted to it by some owner of the V4.
V4 is much more sophisticated and includes more home automation features with a new User Interface and much more powerful architecture with plugin in and SCENE editor
http://www.domotique-info.fr/2015/09/test-de-nouvelle-ipx800-v4-by-gce-electronics/ ( in FR )
to be honest, to me , my Home Automation “center” is vera so I did not need these features and V3 is perfect for me. it is simple and I do not use its User Interface even less need a scene editor as I use it through VERA and my plugin which enable it to be used in scenes. I use v3 to control my swimming pool pumps ( like forcing ON state in winter when temperature reaches freezing ) , temperature ( I could use it for PH but I do not ), also to decide to block or unblock the garden sprinklers based on a simple relay value etc…
I’ve been using the combination vera/ipx800 V4 for a while now and I must say I’m pretty happy with it. Though not using a vera plugin it’s very easy to call the API of both devices. IPX800 is used to control relays and inputs and changes the status on vera devices by the push mechanism. In the other direction the vera scenario’s can directly trigger IPX800 relays and inputs. What I love the most is the GSM device connecting to the IPX800. All notifications are done through that device, works very well for me.
Interesting I have been looking at the IPX800 for a while mainly for pulse counting of energy etc but also maybe for replacing in future my IHC system which today control most of my house alongside with some Vera and Zwave - I have 24V input pus button and wires from putlets to central location so the IPX 800 fits well in this.
Can you please explain a little bit how complex/easy it is to communicate vera/ipx800 V4 ?
do you have any extentions?
do you use pulse counting for energy?

i just purchased an IPx800v4. The language on the web interface for the device is in French and it does not appear to have English support. I have an email into GCE, but they have not responded in a week.
I configured the plug in, and switch devices show up, as well as 3 analog temp devices, but the switches do not appear to work. i assume this has something to do with API changes from v3 to v4. I am probably going to try an return it to GCE if I can get them to respond to my email (in both english and french)
Yes it is a v3 plugin
Can you provide source code for the plug in if I wanted to try my hand at a v4 plug in?
GCE was able to return my message once i sent it in french using google translate. the download page for the EN firmware is at

Hello, new Vera user here.
It’s working fine with some Everspring SM103 I have but I’m struggling to let it work with my IPX800v3 (just updated to latest firmware).
After plugin installation and device added, nothing seems to happen.
I’m not getting any feedback when clicking on the “Test” button or even the “Get IPX Names”, I’ve added all the i/o’s in the settings and turning them on or off does nothing, neither the temp sensor hooked to the 1st analog in is showing any number in the devices list
I feel like I’m overlooking something very basic but after some days of tries I really can’t find any solution.
The IPX is running fine and I can easily access it thru its local IP address.
Any idea?
can you share the attributes and the variables you have for your IPX device ?
also what is the version of the IPX firmware and the version of the IPX plugin

empty FirmwareVersion seems to indicate a lack of connection. try to put the ip addr in IpxIpAddress variable and in ip attribute
That fixed it! Thank you!!
Actually I have the same problem connecting to the web interface of the IPX thru my android phone, i can reach it using the numeric IP but not with the “ipx800_v3” url.
That’s strange, because it works with no problem thru Chrome on my desktop pc.
